*"Visualizing Environmental Injustice in Puerto Rico", TUES OCT 16, 
5.30-6.30*
*HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE ART GALLERY*
**
In Puerto Rico, what the State has billed as “progress” and 
“development” has often resulted in environmental harms to ecosystems 
and communities. In this talk Prof. Hilda Lloréns will detail the 
makings of environmental injustice in Puerto Rico from the 1970s to the 
present.

Hilda Lloréns is an anthropologist whose research examines the 
relationship between race, ethnicity, and gender and different 
manifestations of injustice. She is the author of "/Imaging the Great 
Puerto Rican Family/: /Framing Nation, Race, and Gender during the 
American Century/" (2014). Prof. Lloréns teaches anthropology at the 
University of Rhode Island.

This event is co-sponsored by the Gallery and a grant from the 
Rodenberry Foundation.
